Maybe I should blame Doc more than Rondo, this team defense is terrible. Rivers should thank Thibs for his ring, because he is an overrated coach as far as offense/defense goes, but that gets overlooked because he is a great "player's coach".

The "great motivator" title he had should be revoked, Celtics just play without energy or effort way too often for Doc to be a "great motivator".

He is not a bad coach, atleast defensively. Last year Celtics were a much better defensive team with a roster which is worse than this year. Paint protection and rebounding are horrible right now. Darko is a very good shot blocker, but the stubborn Doc will play Wilcox and even Collins ahead of him.

Offensively, he is good for drawing smart plays out of timeout. But this Rondo standing, dribbling and waiting for Terry/Pierce to get open must be stopped.

Well, I was wrong. Pop changed the game when he played TD, Diaw and Blair together as PP was abusing the smaller players (Manu, Green). So pleased with Pop - finally tall-ball with lots of Splitter. This is the kind of game I like - 58 points in the paint.
